Ty's P.O.V.
I woke up on a park bench to someone shaking my shoulder. "Hey, kid, you okay?" The man asked. I nodded and looked at my shitty cell phone.
"Oh crap! I'm gonna be late to school! Thank you sir!" I yelled, running in the direction of my school. I was going to be so late!
Maybe I should explain. My name is Ty, and I've lived on the streets since I was thirteen, when my parents disowned me.
(FLASHBACK)
I walked into the living room, where my parents were watching TV.
"Mom? Dad?" I squeaked. My mom looked up at me. "What is it, sweetie?" She asked. I looked down at my sneakers. "You guys would love me no matter what, right?" I asked.
"Of course, honey." Mom replied. I took in a deep breath. "Okay, here goes. Mom, Dad, I'm g-gay."
The rest was a blur. Dad started yelling at me, and told me to get out of his house, and to never come back. I ran out of the house, crying.
(END OF FLASHBACK)
I forced myself to stop thinking about that horrible moment and focused on getting to school. I yelped as someone tripped me.
"Gah!" I squeaked. The person who had tripped me laughed. I looked up and saw Felix, the most popular kid in the school. (I'M A LOYAL BRO HONEST)
"Hey, faggot." He sneered. I started crying in frustration and anger. "Hey, get away from him!" I heard someone yell. I looked up and saw a brunette kid running over to us.
"Oh, hi Adam." Felix said happily. The kid - Adam, apparently - shot daggers at him and helped me up. "If I see you even touch him again, I will not hesitate to punch you in the nose." He growled. Felix laughed in a mean way.
"Whatever gay boy." He said, walking away. Adam turned to me and smiled. "Hey, you okay, kid?" He asked. I nodded. "Yeah, thanks for that." I said shyly. Adam laughed. "No prob. I'm Sky, by the way. I hate being called Adam." He said happily.
"Ty." I replied. Sky picked up my black and green headphones, which had fallen off when Felix tripped me.
"I hope they didn't break." He said. I looked them over. "No, they seem alright. Thanks for helping me." I said, walking to my school. Sky walked after me. "Hey, wait up!" He yelped. I let a small laugh escape my lips at his childishness.
"What is it?" I asked, stopping in my tracks. Sky caught up with me. "You go to Washington State High, right? I've seen you around." He said happily. I nodded slowly. "Yeah. Why?" I asked.
"Let me help you get to school. Maybe we can be friends." Sky replied. I smiled a little bit. "Okay, sure. Thanks, Sky." I replied. "So, what's your favorite color?" He asked.
"Neon green. Yours?"
"Yellow."
"Oh, cool."
I rubbed the back of my neck. "So...What's your favorite thing to do in your free time?" I asked. "Minecraft." He replied without any hesitation. I tilted my head. "What's Minecraft?" I asked. He looked at me as though I had said something awful.
"Dude, you need to play this game! Come over to my place after school and I'll show you, okay?" He said. I nodded. "Um, okay." I said. He smiled. "Here, take this. It's my phone number and address." Sky said, giving me a piece of paper. I tucked it into my backpack.
"Thanks." I said, smiling. And it wasn't forced, like usual. It seemed natural.
Our school came into view. "Oh, there's school." Sky said. He looked actually kind of disappointed. I smiled shyly. "Well, I'll see you after school." I said. Sky stopped me. "Wait, meet me and my friends at table 4 at lunch. You'll like them." He said, grasping my arm.
I nodded, my face heating up just a little bit. "O-Okay." I said, walking off to deal with my thoughts alone. He seemed really friendly. Did he really want to be friends, I wondered. I was confused. Why would he wanna be friends with the gay homeless kid?
I wasn't sure. But I couldn't focus on that right now. I had to deal with school. And yet I couldn't get this kid out of my mind. His curly brown hair, tan skin, and caring nature. Could it be that I was falling for a kid that I had only talked to for like five minutes?
Apparently so.
Adam's P.O.V.
I was walking to school, when I heard someone cry out, presumably male. I ran to the source and saw a kid on the ground, with Felix towering over him. The kid had his hair cut emo style, and he had dark circles under his eyes from no sleep and his skin was pale.
Even so, he was cute, in a slouchy, awkward sort of way. And he looked familiar. I forced myself to stop thinking about his looks.
"Hey, get away from him!" I shouted. Felix turned to me. "Oh, hi Adam." He said. I flinched mentally. I hated being called Adam.
I shot him a glare and rushed over to the boy, helping him up. He looked surprised and a little scared, but accepted my help.
"If I see you even touch him again, I will not hesitate to punch you in the nose." I said in a dark tone. Felix laughed.
"Whatever gay boy." He sneered, stalking away. I turned to the kid and smiled happily. "Hey, you okay kid?" I asked. The kid nodded. "Yeah, thanks for that." He said quietly. His voice was still kind of shaky, probably from the scare.
I chuckled a little bit. "No prob. I'm Sky, by the way. I hate being called Adam." I said cheerily. "Ty." The kid said softly. I picked up his headphones and handed them to me. "I hope they didn't break." I replied. Ty looked them over.
"No, they seem alright. Thanks for helping me." He said, a trace of a smile on his face. He then turned away from me, walking in the direction of my school. So that's why he looked so familiar.
I walked after him. "Hey, wait up!" I said childishly. Ty laughed.
Oh god his laugh...STAHP SKY!
"What is it?" He asked. "You go to Washington State High, right? I've seen you around." I said. Ty nodded slowly. "Yeah, why?" He asked, confusion flickering in those beautiful crimson eyes. STOP IT BRAIN YOU MAKE EVERYTHING AWKWARD.
"Let me help you get to school. Maybe we can be friends." I said hopefully. Ty smiled a bit. "Okay, sure. Thanks, Sky." He responded. Okay...you got this far. Make some kind of conversation!
"So what's your favorite color?" I asked.
"Neon green. Yours?"
"Yellow."
"Oh, cool."
At this point, he awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck. It was adorable. "So...what's your favorite thing to do in your free time?" He asked. I didn't have to think twice about that.
"Minecraft." I said immediately. Ty tilted his head like a puppy or something. "What's Minecraft?" He asked. I couldn't help but stare. This kid had no idea what Minecraft was?
"Dude, you need to play this game! Come over to my place after school, and I'll show you, okay?" I offered. Ty nodded slightly. "Um, okay." He replied. I couldn't help but grin. I fished in my pocket for the slip of paper I always kept and handed it to him.
"Here, take this. It's my phone number and address." I said as he hesitately took it.
"Thanks." He said, smiling. And this time it was a real smile, not a small one. I saw the school coming up ahead. "Oh, there's school." I said, trying not to let my disappointment show in my voice. He smiled that adorable smile of his again.
"Well, I'll see you after school." He said, starting to walk off. "Wait, don't go!" I wanted to shout. But instead, I just grasped his hand, stopping him. A ghost of a blush appeared on his cheeks. "Wait, meet me and my friends at table 4 at lunch. You'll like them." I said. I wanted to be with this kid as much as possible.
"O-Okay." He stuttered, walking off. I blushed. His hand had been so soft. And he was so shy and adorable. And not only that, he was so beautiful. His dark hair, crimson eyes, and porcelain skin.
Stop it! He doesn't like you that way! And he never will! I told myself. And yet, I couldn't. His perfect face was permanently etched into my mind. His laugh was still ringing in my ears, sounding like music. What was happening to me? I must really like him. Maybe even love him.
An image popped into my mind. It was of me and Ty kissing. Woah. Where did that one come from?
"Hey. Hey Sky. Guess what?" Ugh, not this kid again.
"What do you want, Squid?" I sighed, turning to the indigo-haired male. He smiled, revealing an array of sharp teeth.
"You're gay." I rolled my eyes. Honestly, this kid was even more annoying then Felix.
"Whatever." I said, walking to my next class.
So I decided to write a new Skylox, since I know some of my readers wanted me to continue my old one. Afraid to say, still haven't come up with any ideas for that one. Sorry. But here! I plan on updating this one more frequently.
Firebolt!
